Our testers continue to love the active life style of their little Lottie dolls. Just 7-inches tall, with silky hair and painted faces, these are girls - not fashion dolls. They are jointed and able to stand. Just the right size for the hand or to fit for most doll houses. Each comes with a backstory that involves the girls in typical activities. This season Robot Girl is entering the school science fair; her project is building a robot with recycled materials. Her Busy Lizzie the Robot project is sold separately. Or consider a Kawaii Karate Lottie dressed for karate class where she hopes to win her yellow belt. Our Lottie fans also liked the Pandora's Box Lottie, who works in an animal shelter; Pirate Queen, a mariner Light House Keeper, and Butterfly Protector with her own net. Marked 3 & up, we think the fine motor skills for dressing and redressing these dolls will challenge kids under 5.
